“Let’s Make Pokémon Move with Programming!” Workshop

We took on the challenge of creating a Pokémon game through programming, with the theme “Catching Pokémon with Poké Balls”!
　
I was surprised to see a large sign with a comment displayed right next to Pikachu at the venue.
In the next session, game creator Junichi Masuda—who has worked on the *Pokémon* series since *Pokémon Red and Green*—will be making an appearance! ^^
